Bushwhacked
The first US Presidential Debate was held earlier today, and it seems like John Kerry did pretty well for himself. The debate focused on American foreign policy and security, most importantly in Iraq, which had long been played up as the Democrats' weak points. Several network polls suggest that majority of the people who watched the debate though Kerry won it, while Bush didn't win too many fans with his performance.My favorite debate analysis comes from Aaron McGruder, the creator of the biting comic series The Boondocks:
"Bush got his ass whupped," McGruder told CNN’s Aaron Brown.
"The elephant in the room" that no TV pontificators will dare acknowledge, he observed, is that Bush "is incredibly dumb...he can’t articulate, he can’t complete a full sentence, and he’s our president."

The Daily Kos adds:
Holy shit, [Bush is] winging it, and it's painful.

Watching the debate, I couldn't help but laugh at Bush's repeated fumbles and the fact that he used the same exact buzzwords that Kerry did. The president couldn't even come up with his own ideas! I wish that I had the power to vote so I could help remove Bush from the White House.
